Chapter 567: Please [M]

    A flicker of hot shame and embarrassment flashed through Shen Nianzu’s pale purple eyes. In response to his rising agitation, his purple caudal fin slapped the water surface repeatedly.

    Alas, his struggle was practically useless since his upper body was locked in place by Jin Jiuchi’s muscular arm, and even his jaw was still held in the man’s grasp. Not to mention, his entire body was still tingling and trembling sensitively in pleasure, and his weak attempt to free himself only resulted in a few splashes of water here and there— totally harmless.

    He was totally held captive, leaving him unable to do anything but to accept whatever Jin Jiuchi wanted to do with him.

    Usually, he was the one in charge. He was the one who held the rein and control over Jin Jiuchi, instead the other way around. Which was why this play brought him more stimulation than ever, even more so when he was in this merman form which he was quite unfamiliar with. He was not used to being in the passive position, and it caused him to feel all sorts of new sensations he was very resistant to. Combined all that with Jin Jiuchi’s degrading and teasing words, he could hold back his temper no more!

    "Don’t... go too far!" he gritted out in warning, only to flush red when it came out weaker and more breathless than he expected. Fuck, this can’t be happening! He squeezed his eyes shut, feeling so mortified he wished to disappear right there and then.

    Jin Jiuchi clicked his tongue in disapproval. "’Don’t go too far’, you say? But I haven’t even done anything yet. Is this not the terms of our bet in the first place? Or is it that..." he dropped his voice into a low, provoking murmur, "Nian’er can’t accept the consequences of your defeat?"

    It was still okay if he didn’t bring up their bet, but once he did, Shen Nianzu’s anger instantly reached its peak. "You trapped me!" he spat out through gritted teeth, his sharp merman nails sinking into Jin Jiuchi’s arms hard enough to draw blood. "You purposely led me on, knowing that I would lose!"

    Hearing that, Jin Jiuchi threw his head back and laughed out loud. The sound reverberated through the enclosed space— low, delightful, and brimming with evil intentions.

    Jin Jiuchi admitted it; what Shen Nianzu said was accurate. He had indeed set a trap for his lover knowing very well that he would emerge as the winner. His term was simple, only consisting of a single sentence, yet it couldn’t be more audacious— ’I want to mess around with you in your merman form, Nian’er.’

    And voila?, here they were.

    Sometimes Jin Jiuchi couldn’t help but sigh over how much of a genius he was to come up with this bet. If he hadn’t done this, would Shen Nianzu have agreed to let him play? Of course not. His lover was too proud and reserved for this. Which was why Jin Jiuchi had no choice but to play a little dirty trick.

    Like a wise man said, all was fair in love and war, right?

    Shen Nianzu glared daggers at him despite his flushed cheeks. "You— ah!" The next second, he curled up, gasping shakily, as Jin Jiuchi’s fingers probed around the slightly concave, tender spot below his abdomen where it was concealed beneath luminous silver scales. That area was so sensitive that the slightest stimulus was enough to weaken Shen Nianzu down to his bone marrow, leaving him teary-eyed and gasping for breath.

    Yet Jin Jiuchi was still not done teasing him. Nowhere near enough.

    He clearly knew exactly where to press, where to sink his fingers in, yet he deliberately circled the area, avoiding the center where it was aching and throbbing the most, nearly driving the beautiful merman insane.

    "Is it here or... here?" he sing-songed, his tone carrying an undertone of mirth and also something darker, more dangerous.

    Rivulets of sweat cascaded down his face and dripped from the tips of his hair, adding a sexy glistening layer on his tan skin, while his chest heaved faintly under the increasingly sweltering heat.

    It wasn’t only Shen Nianzu who had it hard. Because come on, he was literally playing out one of his secret fantasies here! His Nian’er looked so hot and sensual when he was tortured by desire like this. His fair skin was dyed in a rosy flush, like a ripe fruit that exuded an irresistibly and intoxicatingly sweet aroma, urging someone to bite down and devour his sweet essence clean from head to toe.

    Who in their right mind could resist such a deadly temptation?!

    Yet as it turned out, Jin Jiuchi’s mind just happened to not be in the right state, since he decided to resist the primal urge to mate through sheer willpower.

    It definitely wasn’t because he was a saint or a man with iron self-restraint. He simply felt that... it was such a pity to delve straight into the main course. Instead of mating directly, he would rather tease his Nian’er to his heart’s content until the latter turned all soft and pliant in his arms. After all, it wasn’t everyday he could see his lover in such a helpless state!

    How could he miss the rare chance to indulge himself?

    All of a sudden, Shen Nianzu weakly clutched his arm, his lips mumbling something incoherent, "..."

    "Hmm?" Arching a brow, Jin Jiuchi once again grasped Shen Nianzu’s jaw with his other hand and lifted the merman’s chin to face him. At this point, Shen Nianzu’s eyes had turned unfocused with a reddish tinge in the corners, tears clinging desperately on the tips of his silver lashes, while his petal-like lips were gaping as he struggled to catch his breath. He looked so gorgeously wanton and alluring; Jin Jiuchi would tear apart whoever dared to lay their eyes on him in this state.

    Jin Jiuchi’s gaze deepened as he bent down slightly to place his ear near Shen Nianzu’s mouth, "Hmm? What is it, Nian’er?"

    Shen Nianzu’s shallow breaths grazed his ear, hot and moist. He bit down on his bottom lip in a mixture of shame and forbearance and, as if making up his mind, craned his delicate neck and whispered tremblingly, "... ple...ase..."

    Oh.

    Oh holy fuck, what did he just—

    Shen Nianzu’s voice was tiny, so tiny that it was nearly drowned by the sounds of rippling water in the jacuzzi, but Jin Jiuchi caught it nonetheless. And the effect on him was spontaneous. His pupils dilated into sharp needle points akin to a starving beast, his breath faltered, and a deliciously toe-curling shiver rolled down his spine as if his entire person had been electrocuted. His expression morphed into one of sheer disbelief.

    Did he... did he just hear Nian’er say ’please’... out of his own volition? Had the sun rose from the west or something???

    He snapped his gaze to Shen Nianzu, his heterochromatic eyes burning fiercely. "...What?" he asked in a suppressed voice tinged with a desperate huskiness. "What did you just say, Nian’er?"

    When Shen Nianzu stayed silent, unwilling to repeat himself, Jin Jiuchi’s expression twisted impatiently for a split second as he tightened his grip over Shen Nianzu’s jaw to inflict pain, while the fingers tracing circles on Shen Nianzu’s slit down there briefly pressed inside, knowing that the merman couldn’t bear it the most. It was a cruel punishment that blended aching pain and mind-bending pleasure into one, causing Shen Nianzu to arch his spine, his raw nerves stretched to their limits.

    "Answer me," he commanded, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

    A small whine escaped Shen Nianzu’s throat as his fish tail spasmed violently, sending more water splashing to the floor. As if succumbing to his fate, the once proud and lofty merman voluntarily lowered his head and pleaded him for mercy, "Please..." his trembling voice carried a hint of choked sob as he clung to Jin Jiuchi. "I–I don’t care what you do, just stop... stop teasing me. It’s so itchy... do someth— uhnnf!!" The rest of his words were swallowed between the rough melding of their lips.

    A strangled cry slipped out of Shen Nianzu’s lips when Jin Jiuchi’s fingers finally... finally exerted a slight pressure into the right spot.

    And in the next second, the slit cracked open, causing the swollen cock inside to slide out easily, along with a stream of thin and transparent fluid.
